Hear! Hear! The latest news: The crazy preacher has confessed (about time, after 4 times creating worldwide panic): No one can know the date of the end of the world. Let's party!And repent later.In 2012 maybe.

I was exposed to the full force of the "archaic revival" the weekend before last, and this, the current psychedelic orthodoxy, is a load of waffle ideal for building a writing career around. (Until next year, that is.) 14 year-olds with no knowledge of history may find it impressive, but that sense of imminence they feel is unfortunately perennial.
